CM1000 – Organic ChemistryAn Introduction to Functional Group Chemistry Dr. Stuart Collins Recommended text: Hart, Craine, Hart, Organic Chemistry 11th Edition
Course Content • Chapter 6- Organic Halogen Compounds • Chapter 7- Alcohols, Phenols and Thiols • Chapter 9- Aldehydes and Ketones • Chapter 10- Carboxylic Acids and Their Derivatives • Chapter 11- Amines and Related Nitrogen Compounds
Organic Chemistry Structure Reactivity • Characteristic Behaviour • Can be rationalised and • predicted Carbon Framework Functional Groups Significance? Design of structure Function Synthesis
Organic Halogen Compounds • Why important? • CFC’s • Chlorofluorocarbons (p.196) • Environmental Impact • Insecticides (p.198) • Key Synthetic Intermediates Provide Access To A Wide Range Of Organic Compounds General Structure
Reactivity Strongly Influenced by Degree of Substitution Nucleophilic Substitution Halide displaced by an incoming nucleophile- a species with an electron pair. Nucleophile can be neutral or anionic
Recall X more electronegative than C – Bond is polarised One covalent bond broken (C-X) One new covalent bond (C-Nu)
Elimination Reactions- Dehydrohalogenation (6.7) Loss of halide (X-) from one carbon and loss of a proton (H+) from adjacent carbon- new alkene Usually occurs on treatment with a base e.g. Na+-OEt
Example Elimination can occur from either side of the alkyl bromide - 2 alkenes (Regioisomers)
Cis and trans isomers can be formed in some cases Both cis and trans isomers can be formed in the internal elimination
By altering the reaction conditions can favour either • elimination or substitution • Vary solvent (Polar/Non-Polar) • Vary base or nucleophile • In general strong bases favour elimination • Nucleophiles which are weak bases favour substitution
